The building was constructed in 1917 to house the Citizen’s Motor Car Company a Packard dealer. In 1937, the Citizen’s Motor Car Company relocated and the building was occupied by Knupp Motors as a Packard dealership. Knupp went out of business in 1940 and Rodgers Pontiac moved in. In 1964, a Buick dealership began using the building as a parts warehouse. In 1974, Genuine Auto Parts acquired the building and left in 1986. The building was vacant until 1992, when America’s Packard Museum moved in. (Source: America’s Packard Museum)
